Daniel Lara, 14, sported the footwear that made him a social media star while serving as a correspondent for “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards.
Alongside his friend Josh Holz, 16, who wore the label’s black-and-white Old Skool laceups, the California teens interviewed celebrities for the comedienne’s Snapchat account.

In February, the boys were catapulted to e-fame after Holz filmed Lara’s outfits daily on Snapchat and name-dropped his slip-on white Vans, wryly adding, “Damn, Daniel! Back at it again with the white Vans.”
The video has received more than 45 million views and landed the teens a guest spot on DeGeneres’ program, where Lara received a lifetime supply of Vans sneakers.

Lara then donated the footwear to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital.
